  • Is Apple Worth More Dead Than Alive? [View article]
    Dear Sam,

    Only the obvious one: Every quarter, some poor, 20-something analyst fresh out of Wharton is called on the carpet to explain how he could possibly be so stupid as to back Apple.

    If I were to adopt Eugene Fama's position that markets are informationally and, we must assume, self-referentially efficient, then it couldn't be so: The market would be aware of its own fallibility in this regard and adjust its posture accordingly. Respectfully, I disagree.

    I close my eyes
    Only for a moment and the moment's gone
    All my dreams
    Pass before my eyes with curiosity

    Dust in the wind
    All they are is dust in the wind

    The U.S. Patent Office's latest foray into the tech sector, scissors in hand, ready and willing to clip everyone's wings hasn't escaped me, it's a direct consequence of the rise of patent trolls. But the USPTO is a government bureaucracy, and as such, I expect their behavior will ultimately turn out to be similar to the Fed's: Pressure ON, Pressure OFF, Pressure ON...

    Of course, even if we valued Apple's patents at zero, the result is much the same.

    Correct...my intention was to adopt the posture of an Apple bear, in order to test the validity of their position.

    That's correct. And thank you for actually reading it all the way through. Evidently, not everyone does.

    I'm recommending a Long position in Apple, not a short one. My point is that if the company's corpse is worth $336 a share, then surely it's living, breathing body is worth quite a bit more.

    Tim Cook is aligned with shareholders via options: 1 million restricted shares, half of which will vest in 2016, the other half in 2021.

    It's one thing when you think the other guy may know something you don't; it's another when you *know* the other guy doesn't know something that you don't know. AAPL shorts are being far too cavalier in tempting the largest buyback in corporate history.

    We do our best. I've got another article in the works concerning Apple's valuation. Stay tuned.

    bobhartin,

    Agreed. Market leaders don't just drop their crowns in the gutter one morning. First someone has to take it. Then they have to hold it.
